In The Studio with Leilani Joy: Tools of the Trade

[cherrychapstick9021]

omg no top comment, my time to shine... ehem... I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!!!!!!

[IsraelJurado01]

"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everybody else decide whether it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they're deciding, make even more art." Thank you for introducing me to that quote! Really inspired me!

Could you order saral transfer paper online?

[LottieSue]

Fabulous video - love all the practical information! Is that brown paper on your walls?

[krystalinaification]

lol



[AndreeaLEO86]

oh and what printer do you have?

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@AndreeaLEO86 It's an EPSON large format photo printer

[AndreeaLEO86]

I was wondering where do you buy the tattoo sticker paper that you sometimes print your designs on? where can i buy it online?

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@AndreeaLEO86 I bought it on eBay but just search for it on google. I'm sure you can find some.

Can you teach us how to draw hands? Btw, can the rubbing alcohol remove the acrylic paint stains on my poor clothes? I likey this video :)

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@RosieBlue132 I wish I had the time, unfortunately I'm working more than full time on my art and drawing hands can be quite complicated. I doubt I could cover it all in one video. In school we took 2 whole classes in drawing just hands. I bet there are some great youtube tutorials already.

As so the stains- I think it might work, but it might take the color out of your clothes as well. Test it first on an old towel or something.

Cool! Thank you so much for this video, and can't wait to see the new studio! Seems beautiful.

And just as an idea for another vid - you may show us sometime how you make your lovely prints :3 Like a walk-trough from creation to actually a ready printed and framed thing :rolls eyes innocently:

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@diddet0 I'm afraid you'll have to do your own research on that. I use a local printer for my art prints. Good luck.

[mrsoppegard]

AND CONGRATS on the studio space how exciting for you!!!!!!!!

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@mrsoppegard Thank you so much! I can't wait!

[mrsoppegard]

great info! TIP: put saran wrap over the opening of the jar and put the lid on :) never sticks :) love the water color blocks... but I need one of those trays!!

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@mrsoppegard Oh thank you! That is a fantastic idea! Why haven't I ever thought of that!

[gasmasktrooper]

I think you'd do a great 11Th Doctor and his Tardis ;)

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@gasmasktrooper Oh yeah? Unfortunately I have no idea what that is.... :-/

[gasmasktrooper]

@MissLeilaniJoy Looool Doctor Who? Haven't you heard of it, shame on you ;P

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@gasmasktrooper Oh Doctor Who. Yeah I've heard of that. I'm not into it though....

[Spiritobliss]

Love your quote Leilani - it's very inspirational. Good luck in your new studio and gallery space. Your tips are great, thank you for sharing.

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@Spiritobliss Thank you so much! Hope it was helpful! ^__^

[melissamurals]

Cool, do you make your own prints?

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@melissamurals I use a local source for my art printing.

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@melissamurals I have them made. Thanks.

[JamJamJaames]

ok, whats really really weird is i posted that comment before i finished watching your video and you have already moved to a gallery for more studio space xD

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@JamJamJaames ^__^

[JamJamJaames]

One day, I'm going to achieve my dream of being a fashion designer and living in New York, I'm going to walk down a street and see this window and through that window will be ALL your work because you have your own exhibition, you deserve it so much!!

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@JamJamJaames Aww you are so sweet! That is a huge compliment! I hope it happens someday! Best of luck to you as well! Just keep at it and you'll get there!

[nekospunky]

ive looked for the saral transfer paper and for sum reason i could never find it -_-

but i love you drawings your awesomes :D

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@nekospunky Hmm sorry to hear that. I've bought it at Aaron Brothers before, but the best way is just to order it. Both dickblick and utrecht always carry it.

[EvieTrenhaile]

i tried emailing you asking about the wood you paint on just last night, but the email didnt send! I love my luck!

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@EvieTrenhaile Yay! ^__^ Hope this helped!

[SilhouetteTing]

Thanks so much for this video, it answered many of my questions =D

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@SilhouetteTing Yay! I'm so glad!
